Most of them like the Coleman QuikPak K3 feature an inflatable design with a seating for a single person. Coleman sit on top boats offer you with a back band to minimize on the occasional back pains. The inner hull, which is fabricated from heavy duty and cold resistant PVC adds on the durability of the kayak. The double lock as well as mini double lock valves are a great addition in preventing entry of water, thereby keeping you dry. They have great weight carrying capacity with some such as the Coleman QuikPak K3 being able to accommodate weights of up to 250 pounds capacity.

Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Well made.
- Well designed.
- Would be a lot of fun as a kids toy (albeit expensive and overkill).
Cons:
- The packaging and the product all state that it is rated for 1 person and 250 lbs. This is not the case, it cannot be inflated enough to be rigid and usable as designed. Instead, it becomes a floating taco shell. In other words, not much fun!
